Pakistani passengers wave as they board the first bus heading to Srinagar from Muzaffarabad, the first bus service to link divided Kashmir in nearly 60 years, prior to departure from Muzaffarabad, 07 April 2005. The bus service, a powerful symbol of the ongoing peace process between India and Pakistan, was flagged off under tight security. Passengers boarded buses in Pakistan’s Muzzaffarad and India’s Srinagar to reach Kaman Bridge, the Kashmiri border divide between India and Pakistan, before crossing over on foot to board buses on the other side of the border to reach the respective cities across the divide.
